Images of the Quarter Awarded over $150 million worth of International pipelay work ERT drilled and completed Danny, a deepwater exploration well Express mobilizing for Reliance Project Construction of 2000 HP super trencher (i-Trencher) commenced Q4000 enters Dry-dock in Galveston for marine and drilling upgrades First production at Independence Hub occurred in July

Overall Revenue increased by 47% year over year and by 29% from Q2 due to asset additions, less maintenance activity and strengthening market conditions. As predicted, gross profit margins returned to > 35% levels with a further sequential improvement in Well Operation's profitability being especially noteable. Deepwater Construction The Intrepid and the Express had near full utilization and contributed 45% of the gross profit for the segment. The Express left for India in mid- September. We were awarded several contracts in the quarter. The following two international awards with a combined value in excess of $150 million are the most significant. The Caesar was awarded the installation of the BP Skarv Idun gas pipeline offshore Norway, scheduled for mid-2009. We entered into an LOI with Santos for the installation of the subsea infrastructure for Santos' Henry project in the Bass Strait of Australia. The Express will commence this work upon completion of the Reliance KGD6 projects in the fourth quarter of 2008. Canyon had another record quarter with gross profit 63% higher sequentially. They had six vessels under contract during the quarter and successfully completed the ROV drill work offshore Papua, New Guinea and executed well on several trenching projects in the North Sea. Contracting Services - Commentary Express Olympic Triton Caesar

Shelf Construction Cal Dive had a very good quarter following the extensive vessel maintenance activity of Q2. Revenue and gross profit improved both sequentially and year over year, despite the bulk of the 2005 hurricane work now being completed. See separate earnings release and conference call for this majority owned subsidiary. Well Operations The Seawell enjoyed full utilization and had another record quarter in the North Sea. The vessel worked in well intervention and construction / diving mode. The Q4000 performed well in the first two months of the quarter and arrived in Galveston on August 30th to start the extensive marine and drilling upgrade program. Due to extensions to the scope of work, e.g. addition of two new thrusters, the vessel will likely be out of service for all of Q4. Contracting Services - Commentary (2)

Reservoir/Well Tech Services Helix RDS had a difficult quarter due to seasonal vacation related impact and the net loss of personnel on the recruitment front. Steps are being taken to improve this situation. Production Facilities Q3/07 Review Independence Hub production has ramped-up nicely since its start-up in mid-July. Marco Polo production was essentially unchanged from the prior quarter and continued to be below expectations due to limited production from K2 and Marco Polo and delays in start-up of the Genghis Khan wells. Q4/07 and Outlook Marco Polo: The first of three planned Genghis Khan wells started producing to Marco Polo in early October. Drilling of the second Genghis Khan well is on-going and it is expected to begin production near the end of Q4 with drilling of the third well to commence immediately after the completion of the second. K2 pressure maintenance is still under evaluation by Anadarko to enhance recovery of claimed 2 to 4 billion BOE in place. Independence Hub: At the end of October, 12 of 15 wells were on-line and producing approximately 640 MMcf/d. Producers continue to ramp up production toward the 1.0 Bcf/d production capacity around year-end when they expect all 15 wells to be producing. In addition, a large number of leases were acquired by producers in the vicinity of the hub in the October lease sale, which bodes well for the prolonged profitability of this key asset.

Oil and Gas - Commentary (1) EC381 H E L I X E N E R G Y S O L U T I O N S Q3 production was less than expected due to shut-ins and stand-downs related to actual or forecast tropical weather systems. In all, the field development program was delayed by around 20 days, pushing the start-up of some wells into Q4. (See slide 18). Our Q3 cost structure was negatively impacted by around $14 million of incremental well P&A and facility repair costs, linked to the 2005 hurricanes. The bulk of that expenditure is now behind us. Shelf field development activity is now back in full swing and Q4 production should be meaningfully higher. We will provide an update on Q4 and an estimate for 2008 production, based on more conservative assumptions, when we talk about formal 2008 earnings guidance in mid-December. All deepwater field start-up activity is on track, according to the update provided on slide 19. Note that we may also sidetrack/complete/develop the Devil's Island PUD next year, timing subject to rig availability.

Oil and Gas - Commentary (2) We have secured a deepwater rig, on an opportunistic basis, to drill a development well at Noonan. The rig is on location and we expect the second well to both enhance production rate and reserve estimates. We were the apparent high bidder on 9 out of 10 blocks that we bid on during the recent central lease sale 205. Three of the prospects we will pick up, subject to MMS approval, are 'oily' plays in our midwater sweetspot as shown on slide 20. We have actively added positions to our hedging program recently, particularly for the late 2008 and 2009 timeframe. As shown on the new format of slide 21 we now have a total of 64.3 bcfe hedged at approximately $9/mcfe. Significantly, that hedged volume is < 10% of our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007. our expected P1 reserves at the end of 2007.
